So then by what metric do you accept any scientific theory?

By this method.

“Science has been wrong before. In fact it is often wrong in that it is not always right and is often not provable. Since science has been wrong, science is not wholly right, and I therefore have an excuse to substitute whatever thinking is comfortable and advantageous for me, or at least is easy, accessible and/or expeditious to my comprehension.”

Almost all people do this to some degree, however. We are still animals, after all.
